This community service activity was motivated by the importance of implementing Clean and Healthy Living Behavior (PHBS) in the school environment to build healthy behavior among students. Based on the initial observation at SMPN 41 Medan, several behaviors still did not fully support health, such as littering, low awareness of handwashing with soap, and limited attention to classroom cleanliness. This activity aimed to improve students’ knowledge and awareness of PHBS and handwashing with soap. The activity included preparation, submission of permission letters, a self-assessment survey, a school discussion, PHBS education, educational video screening, direct handwashing practice, a pre-test, a post-test, reward distribution, provision of handwashing soap, and documentation. The target group was 29 students of class VII-5 at SMPN 41 Medan. The evaluation results showed an increase in the average knowledge score from 67.6 in the pre-test to 96.2 in the post-test. This activity indicates that health education combined with direct practice can improve students’ understanding of PHBS and handwashing with soap in the school environment.
